> Ruby: Hop onto Pesterchum.

Ruby's desktop's background is barely visible for all of the file and application icons, most of which are for various games and chat clients. One of these chat clients is Pesterchum, which she opens up. Her Chumroll is populated with the same users as Lucy's. There is a Troll Slum, which she herself is listed in, as well as at least one other user whose handle is obscured. Ruby opens up a window to talk to Lucy.

What, no time spent examining the room and fucking around? You suppose that makes sense, seeing as how you live here and already know where everything is.

AT: Okay we're literally playing Sburb today.AT: Could we PLEASE sit down and talk strategy?CG: chill your jets, we barely know what the game is about.AT: Easy for you to say. You're the best at games, you can afford to go in blind.CG: 8blushes8 i wouldn't say i'm 'the best'...CG: psych1 yes i would.CG: listen. just git gud and you'll be fine.AT: ,_,CG: don't look at me with those lonesome eyes.AT: ,___,AT: ,_______,CG: u,uAT: I told you about how the servers and clients are set up, right? We should at least get that sorted out.CG: yeah, that's fair.CG: me and ga will connect to lucy and you bc we're mlg and you're mlp.CG: (that stands for major losing probabilities)AT: Big words coming from a N.E.R.D. (Needs Education Regarding Disses)AT: You need to step up your G.A.M.E. (Gets Angry, Makes Errors)CG: that's quite a silly thing to say.CG: you see, not only am i not mad, i've never been mad.CG: i'm in full control of my emotions with every keystroke i make.AT: LMAO. Can we just acknowledge my sick owns and move on?CG: yeah, they were pretty sick.AT: Anyways, I agree on those two server-client arrangements. AA is probably going to be spacing out, so I'll be his server player, since one of us has to pay attention.AT: Lucy will probably pass out at some point, so she'll serve GA, since he works great under pressure.CG: meaning that AA is my server player, by process of elimination. yeah, i can deal with that.CG: oh1 i meant to ask you1 what did you get lucy for her bday/AT: Oh, nothing much.AT: Just a HOMEMADE FETCH MODUS.CG: ;o ;o ;oCG: that came off as flirtier than i meant it to 9bc fuck da shift key0 but wow that is honestly so cool.CG: she keeps complaining about the random walk modus, she's gonna love it.AT: It's really not that hard once you get the hang of data structures.AT: I mean, it is, but not for me. :DCG: did i ever tell you that you're the greatest/ seriously, we're gonna kick so much ass today.
